Description from the seller

Rare and elegant manual coffee grinder in solid brass, entirely decorated with fine circular engravings along the cylindrical body. An fascinating and unusual object, very different from the classic wooden grinders widespread in Central Europe: this model features a completely metal structure, with sober but refined workmanship that gives it a strong artisanal character.

At the bottom there is the stamped brand “Made in Albania” with central initials, an element that certifies production and makes it particularly interesting from a collectible standpoint, considering the rarity of Albanian domestic objects exported or preserved in good condition.

The grinder consists of:
• Cylindrical engraved brass body
• Domed upper cap
• Side crank in iron with brass knob
• Internal grinding mechanism (full operation to be verified)

Estimated era: about the 1930s/40s.
Material: brass and iron.
Conditions: good overall condition with natural patina of time, which enhances its authenticity. Normal signs of use consistent with age.

A truly special piece, both as a vintage functional object and as a decorative accessory for rustic kitchens, industrial environments or collections dedicated to historical coffee instruments.
